In an interview with Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, Rohwer indicated that the proposed legislation, currently favoring the construction of gas power plants primarily in western and southern Germany due to higher energy demand, may be revised to address concerns from eastern state governments. Critics, including Saxony’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Panter (SPD), and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s Energy Minister, Blank (independent), worry that their regions may be overlooked in the gas power plant allocation process. The Ministry of Economic Affairs aims for these plants to balance energy supply during periods of insufficient solar and wind generation.
